Time, consciousness, desire, agency, gender and class-it is this mastery over the English language in encapsulating precisely what it means to be human that makes the novel so revered.Īs such, there has inevitably been a colossal response to such a momentous text and author. ![]() Telling the story of a single day in June 1923 in the lives of otherwise average Londoners, the classic still manages to artfully deconstruct of broad themes that encompass the universal experience.

" I'll wager a year's servitude, answered Apollo, that animals – any animal you like – would be even more unhappy than humans are, if they were given human intelligence."Īnd so it begins: a bet between the gods Hermes and Apollo leads them to grant human consciousness and language to a group of dogs overnighting at a Toronto veterinary clinic.
